ACKNOW LEDGM EN TS

After writing books for 13 years now, I still find that the thing thats the hardest for me to write
in any book is the acknowledgments. It also, hands down, takes me longer than any other pages
in the book. For me, I think the reason I take these acknowledgments so seriously is because its
when I get to put down on paper how truly grateful I am to be surrounded by such great
friends, an incredible book team, and a family that truly makes my life a joy. Thats why its so hard. I also know

To my remarkable wife, Kalebra: Weve been married nearly 22 years now, and you still contin
and everyone around you. Ive never met anyone more compassionate, more loving, more hilar
genuinely beautiful, and Im so blessed to be going through life with you, to have you as the mo
children, my business partner, my private pilot, Chinese translator, and best friend. You truly a
woman love songs are written for, and as anyone who knows me will tell you, I am, without a

To my son, Jordan: Its every dads dream to have a relationship with his son like I have
with you, and Im so proud of the bright, caring, creative young man youve become. I
cant wait to see the amazing things life has in store for you, and I just want you to know that w
To my precious little girl, Kira: You have been blessed in a very special way, because you
are a little clone of your mom, which is the most wonderful thing I could have possibly
wished for you. I see all her gifts reflected in your eyes, and though youre still too young to have

To my big brother Jeff, who has always been, and will always be, a hero to me. So much of
who I am, and where I am, is because of your influence, guidance, caring, and love as I was
growing up. Thank you for teaching me to always take the high road, for always knowing the righ
Im incredibly fortunate to have part of the production of my books handled in-house by my own
book team at Kelby Media Group, which is led by my friend and longtime Creative Director, Felix
Nelson, who is hands down the most creative person Ive ever met. Hes surrounded by some of the
most talented, amazing, ambitious, gifted, and downright brilliant people Ive ever had the honor of working with.
Thank God for Kim Doty, my Editor. She is amazing, and single-handedly keeps me from jumping off the
Sunshine Skyway Bridge (although its still somewhat tempting when its getting close to deadline). Kim is
just an incredibly organized, upbeat, focused person who keeps me calm and on track, and no matter how
tough the task ahead is, she always says the same thing, Ah, piece of cake, and she convinces you that you
can do it, and then you do it. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to her for being my Editor.

Working with Kim is Cindy Snyder, who relentlessly tests all the stuff I write to make sure I
didnt leave anything out, so youll all be able to do the things Im teaching (which with a
Photoshop book is an absolute necessity). Shes like a steel trap that nothing gets through if it doesnt wo

The look of the book comes from an amazing designer, a creative powerhouse, and someone whom I
feel very, very lucky to have designing my booksJessica Maldonado. She always adds that little
something that just takes it up a notch, and Ive built up such a trust for her ideas and intuition, which is
why I just let her do her thing. Thanks Jess!
I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my Executive Assistant and Chief Wonder Woman, Kathy Siler.
She runs a whole side of my business life, and a big chunk of our conferences, and she does it so I
have time to write books, spend time with my family, and have a life outside of work. Shes such an
impor- tant part of what I do that I dont know how I did anything without her. Thank you, thank
you, thank you. It means more than you know.
A special thanks to my photo assistant, Brad Moore, who not only assisted me during all these shoots,
but also came up with the rig for taking the overhead shots in the studio and on location. I am so
grateful to him, not just for what he did for this book, but for what he does all year long to help me
get the shot. Thanks Braddo!
Thanks to my best buddy, our Chief Operating Officer and father of twin little girls, Dave Moser, first
for handling the business end of our book projects, but mostly for always looking out for me.
Thanks to everyone at New Riders and Peachpit Press, in particular, my way cool Editor Ted Waitt, my
wonderful Publisher Nancy Aldrich-Ruenzel, marketing maven Scott Cowlin, marketing diva Sara Jane
Todd, and the entire team at Pearson Education who go out of their way to make sure that were
always working in the best interests of my readers, and who work tirelessly to make sure my work gets
in as many peoples hands as possible.
Thanks to my friends at Adobe: John Nack, Mala Sharma, John Loiacono, Cari Gushiken, Julieanne
Kost, Tom Hogarty, Bryan ONeil Hughes, Thomas Nielsen, and Russell Preston Brown. Gone but not
forgotten: Barbara Rice, Jill Nakashima, Rye Livingston, Addy Roff, Bryan Lamkin, Jennifer Stern, Kevin
Connor, Deb Whitman, and Karen Gauthier.
My thanks to Matt Kloskowski for letting me bounce ideas off of him for this book, and for his input
and suggestions along the way.

I want to thank all the talented lighting wizards who Ive learned so much from over the
years: Joe McNally, Frank Doorhof, Jim DiVitale, Helene Glassman, Jack Reznicki, David
Ziser, and Jim Schmelzer. Also, thanks to my mentors, whose wisdom and whip-cracking
have helped me immeasurably, including John Graden, Jack Lee, Dave Gales, Judy Farmer, and Douglas Pool
Most importantly, I want to thank God, and His son Jesus Christ, for leading me to the woman of my
dreams, for blessing us with two amazing children, for allowing me to make a living doing something I
truly love, for always being there when I need Him, for blessing me with a wonderful, fulfilling, and
happy life, and such a warm, loving family to share it with.
